Nordstrom Anniversary Sale – Sneak Peek Photos!

07/09/201907/10/2019

July 10th Updated the blog post with some more info on the gifts and requirements for purchase!

Since the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is fast approaching, I wanted to stop by my local store and check things out in person so I have my gameplan ready. I have it on good authority that there are over 150 brands participating the Glam Up Beauty event.

I took a few photos and I wanted to share what I found, particularly since there hasn’t been too much information about the Gift With Purchase Sets!

I don’t have a comprehensive list yet, but I believe once the sale starts, we will be able to access ALL gifts here: https://shop.nordstrom.com/content/beauty-gifts-with-purchase

Right now I’m using the Clarins Bright Plus HP Brightening Night Cream and it has been working really well for my skin. I don’t have any dry spots anymore and I think my skin is looking great in the morning, but it looks like this night cream has been discontinued. I’m not sure if it has been rebranded as the White Plus line or not. I’ll have to look into this a little more. It’s always so disappointing when companies discontinue a favorite!

Bloomingdale’s Friends and Family

12/05/201612/04/2016

Happy Monday! I hope you had a relaxing weekend. I’ve caught a case of the sniffles so I’m in bed for the day. Hopefully this passes quickly. In the meantime… there’s always online shopping! Haha!

Bloomingdales has another Beauty Treats event happening, now through next Sunday, 12/11/2016. Take $20 off every $150 purchase in beauty (Space.NK is excluded, but it looks like that is all). There are also a few gifts available: Clarins is offering 4 deluxe samples with purchase of any 2 Clarins products, Kiehl’s has a 4-piece gift with $85 purchase, La Mer has a 5-piece gift with $350 purchase and Sisley-Paris has an 8-piece gift with $350 purchase.
